Ok, I'm officailly comfortable here...the silliness has come out.

Yesterday, I went to see the surgeon's dietitian and took the "what to expect after surgery" class and they gave me a pedometer! I have always threaten to buy myself one. Well, today I put it on and I went for my walk and I found out the not only did I take 4383 steps, I walked nearly 2 miles in 40 minutes...Woohoo!

I took the IPOD shuffle with me and was dancing as I walked down the road...I guess it was funny because a guy honked at me...and of course, I turned to see why and slipped in the ICE! hehehe The only thing hurt was my pride so I got up and danced away!

Ok, silliness over...for now.

Oh you poor thing...are you okay.... because I really want to laugh but if your hurt I won't laugh LOL Thats a good one.

Congrats on the 2 miles and congrats on the new life

LOL at being silly, missangelaks,

Welcome to the secret pedometer society. It will get worse - you will learn to spot other people who are wearing pedometers and chat as if you know each other. Be prepared.

OMG!!!!! that's PHENOMENAL!!! i wasn't able to walk 2 miles until nearly a year after surgery!!!!! but please be careful on the ice - with surgery not far away, we don't need ANYTHING BROKEN around here, do we??????

yipppeeee YAHHOOOOOO!!!!!!

Way to go! I'm gonna have to dig my pedo. out of the drawer. Was that Irish line dancing your were doing or tap? Becareful!

Now I have to look for my Pedometer........ oh no that means major draw cleaning




.

Ok, everyone here seems to be able to get a pedometer to work fine. I have tried several and the only one that has been close to working for me was one I bought from WW about 5 years ago (& I don't know what happened to it).

Can someone make some recommendations as to the brand, type, where to wear it, etc. that might help me. I would love to have one work.

not sure of brands...but they told me to wear it on my side at the waist and not in the front so far it works fabulously. The nurse said that if you wear it in front, it doesn't work because of the angle.

yesterday, I had 8,100 steps! my goal is 10,000 in a day

and Nanj...the bottom half was walkling hard to the beat and the top half was swingin' and keepin' time! LOL

Hi loodie,

This thread had several brands recommended, including links to Amazon throught the 3FC store:
I wear my Omron HJ-105 clipped to my belt on the right side. The newer models claim that you can carry them in a pocket or purse. I get repeatable, good accuracy after I adjust it once.

Good luck.

I have yet to find a pedometer that works accurately!
I got a brand new gym-quality treadmill for Christmas, so I am looking forward to getting over this cold and getting on it!! A pedometer would be great. Let us know if anyone finds a GOOD one!
